Financial giant JPMorgan says that Bitcoin’s (BTC) ETF demand has been overstated by 2X. The bank believes that not all inflows represent fresh money entering the crypto space. The bank stated, ‘We believe there has likely been a significant rotation away from digital wallets on exchanges to the new spot bitcoin ETFs.‘ The rotation away from digital wallets is reflected in the declining reserve of BTC on exchanges.

According to the bank, the development could be because of cost-effectiveness, deeper liquidity, regulatory protection and convenience of the ETF wrapper. The bank also notes that ETFs have become the preferred choice for BTC exposure.
